Subaru 4 pots!
3 Attachment(s)
So I was lucky enough to get a great set locally here in Tacoma. They are in great shape with only minor chips and scuffs. I went with these over brembo because I wanted to keep 17in wheels and I think the Subaru logo is way cooler to put on the Brz.
The fronts fit perfectly, I have 17x7, +42 Tenzo R wheels and there is clearance for days. Bolts straight up using stock bolts. The rears are a little less direct swap, the sti rotors don't work with our ebrake system. Our ebrake circumference is huge in comparison. Also gonna need some brackets for them to fit. The weight difference on the fronts are pretty good also, 11.8lbs for the 4 pots and 14lbs for the stockers. The overall rotor diameter is the same on both front and rear, as with the rotor width. So in theory, you could use stock rotors with these brakes. - Subaru 4 pot fronts - ebc red pads - ebc slotted and dimpled rotors - Subaru 2 pot rears (pending) - ebc red pads rears (pending) - ebc slotted and dimpled rotors rear (pending) Attachment 41050 Attachment 41051 Attachment 41052 |

And just in case anyone wants these, they come stock on the 06-07 WRX's. You can also find them off the early JDM WRX/STi's 93-01. The old WRX/Sti calipers will have painted raised Subaru letters, where the new calipers will use a flat sticker. Hope this helps :)
Thanks, Rick |
Title says 05 STi brakes but these are clearly 06-07 WRX brakes.

Confusing OP. As the above poster says, these aren't STI brakes...or at least not "modern" STI brakes. I believe these were JDM STI brakes on the first gen, but calling them STI brakes is a misnomer.
FWIW, you can fit those rears to the our car with a bracket from KNS (Mach V also carries it) and IIRC, continue to use our rear discs. |
doh, i recalled incorrectly.

The rotors on the rear are the same diameter. Needs brackets to mount the calipers. Wrx rotors won't work due to ebrake. Driving, will post later
|
same calipers that come on the 300zx

That a good saving on the rotor wight. I wish if I can find a lighter option.
|
no bracket or anything needed? just bolt on and go?
|
Can the OP change the title of the thread as these aren't STi brakes.

For the people who says rotors dont matter, IT DOES. Just look at the weight difference, it reduces rotating mass and has the same effects as going with lightweight rims. With that being said, I might consider these, I cannot believe I passed on these when I found a fresh 06 WRX at the junkyard. DOH!
